dj big gyg blessing us with Rosetta's Fridge Stone

The appearances of the fridge are increasing, what could they mean? What is the meaning behind the fridge, could it be trying to contact us? Warn us? Is there only one fridge appearing multiple times or are there multiple fridges? Do we fear it, does it fear us?

what clip r u talking about for the window one, I see the 2nd one with fridge in the river window

#119 in the froyo thread

Broke: downloading b4nny's config to get better
Woke: downloading b4nny's config to get more fridge spawns

Everyone has been talking about the heavy update, but Valve is actually giving us hints it's going to be the Fridge Update.

god bless you millie for turning this into an actual good thread

I've really been trying to figure this one out. I loaded up process f7 (you can see it's the currently played map when b4nny pulls up the scoreboard) and took a look at this door frame. My first impression was that there was a hammer viewport on that door frame, and it was some kind of glitch when walking through it, but no, as you can see there isn't a viewport.

I also figured wherever b4nny teleported was some kind of dev room, but it's actually this back area off the side of the map.

Of note, b4nny is pushing red last and is warped into the room on blu side last. But why was there a fridge there of all places, and what caused his vision to bug out like that?

My take on the fridges appearing on mid is just the prop glitching out to the map origin point, similar to how ragdolls will sometimes appear suddenly and randomly on the midpoint when you have them disabled. The other fridge sightings are very strange.

Spent some time going through and getting the remaining parts of the first message.

For ease-of-use, I created a Spreadsheet that tracks & lists information about the symbols.

If any of this means anything to anyone, hmu.

Still don't know if this is a troll, but some time was taken to at least go to Wikipedia, and rip & compile the images, so kudos to you Pantry (I am learning so much!!!!)

Great work on compiling what we know. Regardless of if its just someone messing with us or not, its very interesting to me. Hopefully theres actually something planned out.

???????????????????

there is more to this than we understand.

My friend pointed it out that the friend (or dev himself) had promoted the precursor game on tf.tv before too

maybe the dev is a lurker here and thought it would be funny to add the fridge, or this rabbit hole goes a lot deeper.

im excited to see where the fridge leads to...

I just now imagined the fridge as a sleep paralysis demon
I'm scared

Wtf I had a nightmare last night about the fridge chasing me

maybe its part of the arg

BREAKING: New Cooler-Corp™ technologies have released psychosis inducing neurotoxins into the atmosphere, causing mass hallucinations of the fabled "Fridge".

Grant "b4nny" Vincent has currently been taken in for questioning by authorities as the current leading casualty.

i have a feeling its a client-side thing since it has no collision, possibly the game not clearing video memory when entering a new room? i know that tournament mode can fuck with servers and thus the client can be slightly desynced at the start of rounds but its so weird that its only the fridge and no other prop.

Novi aliquid post hunc horrorem cosmicum, sed amplius non loqui, quia apparitio, quae in praesentia mea materiali describitur, aeternum dolorem pro me et omnes amo

The first image contains 26 different symbols per gggly's spreadsheet which makes me think it corresponds to the alphabet but the 2nd image sent to millie has mostly symbols that are not in the first so I'm lost. The numbers at the beginning of the file name that contained the b4nny clip could be relevant.

spoilers below

I noticed this too, but there are 25 symbols. One symbol (ຟ) is used twice.
That said, there might be 26, as the formatting might have gotten offset because languages are being combined. I'm not sure if these 2 dots are something, or if the little circle in this symbol is supposed to be something separate.

I wonder if this could be a unicode point/ hex cipher. It seems more likely that work has been done to a numerical representation of these characters than a guy pulling characters from this many different alphabets.

important update... ever since i made this comment, i've been seeing the cursed Door Handle Fridges again. i literally have not seem them in like half a decade and they randomly started appearing again after i made this comment. am i the bearer of the Fridge Blessing now? https://imgur.com/a/edMgVe6

what the fuck.

inb4 fucking with tftv is funny and 2-3 people are helping carry the ARG
edit: oh shit?? https://i.imgur.com/VYsIZZA.png

unrelated but do other people get random visual glitches like pyro's flames, unusual effects, hats stuck in mid air in random places on any map? I think I've encountered the fridge like 2 or 3 times throughout my years but I never really thought much of it since I run into visual glitches at least once a week.

I always thought these glitches appear because I was running a graphics config like mastercomfig. So maybe if people didn't use a graphics config and used stock settings instead, the fridge sighting might go away? I'm not sure about the clip of b4nny teleporting on process last though.

Yeah same, even over the years with multiple OS installs, so I think it's a safe bet that everyone sees them, it's just a matter of whether they care enough to notice. Since I suck at ARGs all I can do is be a party pooper and say that the fridge itself is almost certainly confirmation bias. It happens to everyone but you stop caring until you read a fridge thread--then it dominates your thoughts, filling your soul until there is nothing left of you but cold ham and a mustard stain.

what if it was all a dream...
